Chico Poker network development in 2019
Ranked 16th in the PokerScout traffic, Chico isn't recognized for hosting massive tournament series. But this year the network is raising its bet and has already organized several events:
- $150kUSD GTD King of Thrones tournament series
- $35,000 Warriors Tournament Challenge
- 120k GTD in the MICRO Tournament Series
On top of that, Chico has also released several new formats; almost all focused on SnG players.
With the latest modifications to the poker tournament schedule, Chico is close to guaranteeing $2M each month, something that will surely draw the attention of more players to the tables.
New Chico Poker network tournament schedule
Chico is dividing its tournament offer into about ten categories, including weekend events and improving the software with legends to make it easier to find events.
The new tournament offer includes anonymous events, Boost Poker (fast poker) among other formats.
Weekend events
- Sizzling Saturdays
- Sunday Warm-Up
- Sunday Majors
- Wicked Weekends (TBC)
The weekend schedule includes 11 events with almost $200k GTD, which have three Main Events on Sunday (Main Event, Mini Main Event, and Micro Main Event) with buy-ins from $1,1 up to $109). All weekend events will be played in NLH format with re-entry, rebuy + addon format.
